When we are preoccupied with woes we allow our mind to get filled up with grievances and the more we think of them the bigger they loom. Instead of surrendering to God and His Goodness we can sometimes let ourselves be controlled by negative thinking into which our thoughts are apt to stray unless we guide those thoughts firmly into brighter paths. When we know that our life is full of potential good we bring it to fruition by changing our attitude. As a beginning we can apply liberal amounts of gratitude for even our littlest advantages and pleasures. When we build the precious foundation of present, tangible good, things will continue to change for the better. “God make me grateful for all the good things I have been taking for granted.”
